This is “Namma for Christ”
with the two hundred seventy-eighth inspirational message dated Wednesday,
October 23rd, 2024. The title of this message is, “Don’t Stop Praying –
Heb. 10:23 – What to Do in a Crisis”. The song provided below - “Don’t
Stop Praying” (with lyrics) by “Matthew West” is a song that I first heard on
my favorite Christian radio station – STAR 99.1FM. The below scripture is what
is found in the 23rd verse of the 10th chapter of Hebrews:
Hebrews 10:23
New King James Version (NKJV)
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.
The scripture text of “this”
message was taken from the “same” scripture text that I read on (October 22nd,
2024) in my daily devotional book (the 58th day's message) entitled: “The Word for You Today – 90
Days of Faith, Hope & Courage in Changing Times”.
The inspirational message I read on October 22nd,
2024, was titled – “WHAT TO DO IN A CRISIS”. I knew that it was a reminder
that I wanted to share in my next message in my “Namma for Christ” blog. I hope you find (some of the excerpts) as inspirational as I did:
WHAT TO DO IN A
CRISIS
23 “…He who promised is faithful.”
Heb. 10:23
New
International Version (NIV)
Don’t
drift. Typically, we react to a crisis in the same three ways as the sailors on
board Paul’s ship (Acts 27:15 NIV - see verse below):
15 The ship was caught by the storm and could not
head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.
The
first thing life’s storms tend to do is make us drift. We lose sight of our goals and forget where we’re headed. We
ignore our values and get off course. Because they weren’t equipped with
compasses and the stars were obscured by the storm, the sailors were in total
darkness. Which raises the question: How do you characteristically react in a
dark situation when you can’t see the stars and you don’t have a compass? You
drift. You go where the waves carry you. You let your problems batter you and
toss you back and forth. In life, strong currents can discourage you and make
you wonder, “What’s the use? Why fight
it?” So you end up going with the flow. But
– NOW’S THE TIME TO DO THE OPPOSITE!
STRENGTHEN
YOUR GRIP OF FAITH: “HOLD UNSWERVINGLY TO THE HOPE WE PROFESS, FOR ‘HE’ WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL…
Do not
throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded…persevere so that when
you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised” (Heb.
10:23, 35-36 NIV). Note the phrase: “He who promised is faithful.”
Question:
Has God ever failed you?
Answer:
No! And He won’t now.
“Hold
unswervingly to the hope we profess…He who promised is faithful” (Heb. 10:23
NIV), and He will bring you through this crisis.
